hi everyone, i don't know if this will go in the right area, introducing yourself. This is my first fissure. I have ibd, dr. pressing more to chrons. So far mild. 2 weeks ago was badly constipated and had to use finger to scope out for 2 days becasue the stool was just sitting at end of rectum and it felt so awful which is why i used the finger and am paying for it now. Family dr. said small tear and just use vasoline on it. Well i came home and read about it and did only the sitz baths and take metamucil. So far its not too bad, mostly burning. I don't feel pain with bowel movements so far. But today gassy and does the farting cause the fissure to open. Seen dr. again yesterday for my refills so i asked him to take a look and he said no infection but a skin tag from an old hemmi is showing. I asked about a crs and he said no. For the burning he said use cortisone cream which i haven't yet. The burning goes down and up. Its been about 10 days since i've had this fissure. Am i doing right and should i push dr to refer me to crs.
